Today, we celebrate 52 incredible years of WCLK — a cornerstone of culture, community, and creativity in Atlanta and beyond.
Since signing on the air on April 10, 1974, WCLK has remained a trusted voice for jazz, delivering timeless music, meaningful conversations, and a platform for artists who shape the sound of our lives. Clark Atlanta University has proudly nurtured and sustained the station, helping it grow from a small campus signal into a powerful force reaching listeners across the metro area.
For more than five decades, WCLK has been more than a radio station—it’s been the heartbeat of Atlanta’s jazz community. From spotlighting legendary performers to elevating emerging talent, the station continues to preserve and advance jazz as a vital American art form.
As we mark this 52-year milestone, we extend our deepest gratitude to our listeners, supporters, partners, and the incredible musicians whose artistry fills our airwaves every day. Your passion and commitment keep the music alive.
Here’s to 52 years of excellence—and to many more years of swinging, soulful, and inspiring moments on Jazz 91.9 WCLK.
